Mailscanner not catching SPAM but manual run via SA catches it

[Dan Carl]

I dont understand whats going on.
Here's a header that was marked as spam.
X-Bluestar-MScan-SpamCheck: spam, SpamAssassin (not cached, score=9.897,
 required 6, BAYES_99 3.50, FORGED_RCVD_HELO 0.14, HTML_40_50 0.50,
 HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_12 1.87, HTML_MESSAGE 0.00, MIME_HTML_ONLY 0.00,
 RCVD_IN_XBL 3.90)
Doesn't this tell me that mailscanner is using Spamassassin?
If it is, why when I manually run spam that doesn't get marked through
spamassassin I get an output like this?

Content analysis details:   (9.0 points, 5.0 required)

                            [151.41.202.96 listed in combined.njabl.org]
The header shows:
X-Bluestar-SpamScore: sssss
X-Spam-Status: No

Please someone tell me how to stop this crap from getting through?
